If you are not in a Task-K I community yet, please contact us to learn more BEFORE installing our app. Task-K I is a resource sharing app for working parents that reduces day-to-day parenting stress. With one click, working parents can ask trusted peers to pick up their children from daycare, pre-schools or afterschool programs on-time without guilt. Say good-bye to expensive late pick-up fees! Cannot afford to have a date night? Now you can. The Task-K I app assists with exchanges of services among trusted parents through use of ‘’village points.” All of these transactions take place in trusted communities where working parents will build on top of their existing childcare communities they already belong. Task-K I is available throughout in the United States where your childcare provider participates as a partner in the communities. Call your childcare provider to find out if they are already a Task-K I partner. If not, visit www.task-ki.com to ask them to become one now! Once your childcare provider becomes a Task-K I partner, you will follow these easy steps: - Get to know other parents in your community through the app. - Provide pre-authorization for your peers to pick up your child. - Click request a pick-up when you expect to be arriving late. - When your request is accepted, the app will show the progress of the pick-up. - When your parent helper arrives, your childcare will check them in, verify their identity and check them out. - The location of the parent helper with your child can always be monitored. - You meet up with the parent helper, confirm when the service is completed, and the app automatically transfers points for the pick-up services. - Points are redeemable for any allowable services offered by parents (e.g. a date night, prepared meals, tutoring, etc).
